User Setup In SAP Business ByDesign
Before we go creating a user, let's talk about roles. The typical user roles in relation to
SAP Business ByDesign and specifically the SAP Cloud Application Studio fall into one of 3 roles themselves.
First is the developer role.
As a developer, you are usually somebody who is creating and maintaining all of the typical content and development objects within the Cloud Studio itself. So that means you are creating new business objects, user interfaces, forms, web services, whatever it might be.
They are really somebody who is doing the bulk of the work within the SAP Cloud Application Studio.
Second, there is a studio administrator.
The administrator is someone who will usually create new solutions, delete solutions, can
maintain the lifecycles, so deploying them to another tenant. They also have the ability to maintain session locks. So as the developer develops on specific content, it will be checked
out for that developer. So an exclusive lock and then administrators can manage those locks.
The third one is someone who is not actually going to be in the Studio itself. It's a business
user. If you have been using SAP Business ByDesign, this is the type of user that you've been
using.
A business user is somebody who does not have access to the SAP Cloud Application Studio.
They are usually just using the front end, using the transaction UIs,
looking at reports, forms, etc. So we will use all of the 3 of these roles throughout the class.
The first 2 developer and administrator often times this is the same person. So you might have
it where many people are both the admin and the developer or you may choose to keep the administrative access only to a select few.
That's a choice that you will have to make for you, your team and your company.
We will use, users that are both admins and developers and then we will also use a separate
business user and the reason we are going to do that is we are going to use our business
users
For our testing and the developer user specifically for development. We won't mix the two
between. So we are going to keep a clear separation of the two because I never want to assign the Partner Development work center to a specific business user. It will be
specifically separate.
Well, there are a few things that we will need to do. First, we are going to go ahead and create a service agent. You could find this under business partner data or a couple other work centers that are available in SAP Business ByDesign and once we generate a new service agent, we
will want to click the request user action from there.
That will then provide a new entry the business user's Work Center View, under the
Application User Management work center. With this business user, we can now set their ID, set an initial password and then assign the proper access rights. The specific work centers that
we will need for someone who wants to use the SAP Cloud Application Studio are everything under the Business Analytics Work Center View or work center. They will need
a list of the views from Application User Management, which we will see in a little bit and then they are also going to need one or more views from the Partner Development work
center. Now the Partner and Development work center and its views are what really give
access to the Studio.
That's what really defines that the user is a Studio user and not, a developer or an
administrator. This is a work center that we should never assign to our business users within
the system.
